The MPS Series is designed to provide 20W to 55W of emergency power to incandescent, fluorescent, and/or LED fixtures. The MPS unit provides clean, sinusoidal AC output power allowing it to be remotely mounted up to 1,000 feet away from the controlled fixture(s).

 Unlike a ballast fluorescent emergency pack, the MPS provides power to the input side of the fixture, (including the ballast) eliminating any chance of incompatibility. MPS Series models are available for surface, recessed or ceiling T-Grid mounting if required. All MPS systems will provide emergency power output for a minimum of 90-minutes.

DESIGN FEATURES

  • For powering incandescent, fluorescent, and LED fixtures
  • True sinusoidal AC pulse width modulated (PWM) design
  • provides clean 60Hz. emergency output
  • Universal 120/277VAC, 60Hz. input/output
  • Unit capacities up to 20W to 55W
  • “Soft Start” design reduces fixture inrush current
  • Surface, recessed or T-Grid mount models
  • Lumen output from fixture is 100% of nominal
  • Unique design eliminates compatibility problems with LED drivers as well as fluorescent ballasts
  • Normally-ON and/or Normally-OFF load output
  • Provisions for local switching capability - Always-ON during emergency conditions regardless of local switch position
  • Temperature compensated, dual-mode charger includes low voltage disconnect feature to provide protection against battery deep discharge
  • Maintenance-free Lead-Calcium and premium grade NickelCadmium battery models offered
  • Control panel with momentary test switch, AC-ON, ChargeON and Inverter-ON LED indicators
  • Battery circuit fuse protected
  • Reverse battery and AC lockout protection

WIRING
Connection to an unswitched AC circuit is required by the NEC. Wiring access is provided for by conduit knockouts in the unit housing. MPS Series models also provide knockouts in the back of the housing for rear wiring from standard electrical boxes when surface mounting.

LOAD COMPATIBILITY

  • MPS model’s clean, sinusoidal AC output will operate incandescent lamps as well as all common fluorescent and LED lamp types. Consult factory for compatibility with all other lamp types.
  • Lighting loads are driven at 100% output for the entire emergency power cycle. This outstanding feature translates into greater occupant egress vision and safety.

OPERATION

  • Upon failure of the normal utility power the MPS unit is automatically turned on by a solid-state switching circuit and provides a minimum of 90-minutes of emergency power to the connected load. Lumen output will be maintained at 100% of the lamp’s rating throughout the entire duration.
  • A solid-state low voltage disconnect circuit is used to protect the battery from being severely damaged by a deep discharge. When normal utility power is restored, the unit switches the load back to normal utility operation and the fully automatic, temperature compensated, dual mode charger begins to restore the battery; bringing it to full charge within UL924 specified parameters. A brownout sensing circuit insures proper operation during “low line” conditions.

BATTERIES AND CHARGER

  • Battery: Sealed Lead Calcium (10 year life) or Sealed NickelCadmium (15 year life)
  • Battery Voltage: 12VDC for all MPS models
  • Runtime: 90-minutes standard. Other runtimes available, consult factory.
  • Battery Protection: Low Voltage Battery Disconnect protects the battery from being severely damaged by deep discharge during prolonged power failures.
  • DC Overload and Short Circuit Protection provided by a DC input fuse.

CHARGER

  • Charger Type: Fully automatic, temperature compensated, dual-mode charger
  • Power Consumption: 9W max. (All models).
  • Recharge Duty Cycle: Meets UL924 requirements
  • Controls: Momentary test switch, AC-ON, Charge-ON and Inverter-ON LED indicator lights
  • Safety Circuitry: AC Lockout prevents battery discharge prior to initial unit power-up.
  • Brownout Protection automatically switches the unit to emergency mode when utility voltage is significantly reduced.

ENVIRONMENTAL

  • Altitude: < 10,000 feet (3,000m) above sea level without derating.
  • Operating Temperature Range: Lead-Calcium Models: 20ºC to 30ºC, Nickel-Cadmium Models: 0ºC to 50ºC
  • NOTE: Optimum system performance between 20°C and 30°C; temperatures outside of this range will affect battery performance and life.
  • Relative Humidity: 95% non-condensing

SYSTEM STATUS MONITORING PANEL
All MPS systems provide a monitoring panel on the front of the unit to show operating status at all times. The panel provides a test switch for user initiated system tests and a 3-LED array that provides an intuitive visual indication of unit readiness.

IMPROVED AESTHETICS

  • The MPS system’s sinusoidal AC output design eliminates voltage drop and proximity concerns. This allows added flexibility in installation location as MPS units can be installed hundreds of feet from the units they power. This means MPS units to be located conveniently out of sight in closets or utility rooms without interrupting architectural aesthetics.
  • In lighting applications, no special or additional emergency fixtures are necessary. Simply designate and connect existing lighting fixtures, either interior or exterior, to the MPS unit for emergency operation eliminating the need for exposed, stand-alone emergency luminaires

MPS SYSTEM ADVANTAGES

  • Compared to traditional discrete emergency lighting units, the MPS Series provides emergency illumination from a single power source resulting in lower maintenance overhead and routine testing expenses.
  • MPS units lower installation costs by powering existing lighting fixtures during emergencies. And because connected fixtures are driven at full brilliancy, they provide far superior egress lighting and deliver improved occupant safety.
